Gene Simmons: 'President Obama not qualified'

Gene Simmons has claimed that Barack Obama isn't qualified to be president.

Talking to Fox News, the KISS rocker confessed that while he likes what Obama stands for and believes he will be re-elected in 2012, he does not think that the politician is fit for office.

"The next president will still be Barack Obama because the Republicans don't have an alternative, there is not one single personality that has any qualification or is likeable. I wish there were actually, because I like the president's heart but I don't think he has the qualification," Simmons explained.

When asked to elaborate on his issues with Obama's policies, Simmons responded: "Obama's economic philosophy, in my estimation, has been a disaster. I'm against being told what to do with my insurance policy; I want the government out of my life.

"I don't think they have a clue how to run the economy which is why America is now insolvent. We need some businessmen in power... but Barack is still going to be the next president."

Simmons added that he hoped Obama would consider working more closely with current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and "the right advisers" during his next term in order to better the country.
